DIDN'T BEAT HIM.

A country editor of advanced thought went into a wholesale house and asked the proprietor for an adver- tisement
 "What's your circulation?'
 "Any number you want it to be-" "Hundred thousand" the proprie- tor suggested.
 "That's it."
 My dear sir, you are an improve ment over the average solicitor. Sup pose I say six hundred"
 "All right"
 "What's the name of your paper?" "The Flat Plains Echo"
 "Fll give you an advertisement on the basis of three hundred circula- tion."
 "All right"
 When the editor went out some one who had heard the conversation remarked that he had allowed the shrewd merchant to beat him.
 "Oh, I don't think SO" the journal ist replied. Caught him on basis of three hundred but I only circulate about one hundred ard fifty including the exchange list"

AN AFRICANS COURTSHIP

Old Ali. Peters had, for some time, been weekly visitor to the Moseby plantation. The old man, usually neg ligent in dress, became almost dandi- fled in appearance and, one Saturday evening, 1t was noticeH that he spent much time in sticking" an old plug hat that had doubtless been worn by his master forty years ago.
 "Whut's gittin' inter yer, Unk Alf?" asked A young negro.
 "Go on erway, youngster, an lcbe de ole fioserfer ter his own bizness."
 "I jes wanter know whut meek yer rub up dat hat so much. W'y'nt yer put some de blackin' on dem pale places?"
 "ToIe yer ter go on erway rum we're, didn' l? Take dis hat fur CT ole boot?"

 The next day the old man, armed with a hickory stick, took his way across the fields in the direction of the Moseby place. Once, in climbing fence, he sat on the top rail, looked back and said: "WoDder ef dem young raskils watchin me?

 We are permitted to print the fol- lowing sad story, the autobiographical part of which was written by Colonel James McElfee, a newspaper writer of experience, and man who at one time in contemplating the future, could catch glimpses of the bright and dancing lights of promise.
 "For weeks and weeks I had been dreading the day. Whena note should fall due? No, worse than that--a day when my wife and should start out to find an unobjectionable flat. The place where we were living was, my wife suddenly discovered, wretchedly out of repair and, the neighborhood too, she had found out, was far from choice. l am inclined to think that the neighborhood became bad simul- taneously with the appearance of woman of squatty build and Il dispo- sition to wear her best clothes on the street. We will take some day. my wife had said, and. select a place that will suit us. am tired of being stuck away like sardine.'
 "'All right, madam, but remember that we cannot afford to pay high rent
 "'Of course not, but we might as well have a pleasant place as disa- greeable one, especially when it won't cost any more.'
 "We went to several renting agen- cies and took down the numbers of almost innumerable flats. Then we began our search. No. 1. My wife, after examining every nook and cor ner, said that she wouldn't have it if they were to give it to her.
 "'Why, then, did you examine it 80 minutely,' ventured to ask.
 "'Because l wanted to see what it looked like. Think I want to hurry over a place and not look at it? I do wish you would have more considera- tion.'
 "No. ?. My Wife-'These rooms are large and airy, don't you think so?'
 "'Yes."
 "'The neighborhood seems to be good.'
 "Yes.'
 "'Isdon't believe we could do better where's the dining -room?' she sud- denly asked with an air of dismay.
 "I don't know
 "Won't do!'
 "No. 3. My Wife-'There are no closets, and the back part of the house is dark
 "No. 2O.-A man showed us the rooms. I sat down on the stairs. This is splendid,' said my wife, per- fectly lovely. Everything is as handy as it can be. Hot and cold water and any number of closets. Who lives just above?'
 "'Mr. Tompkins,' the man replied.
 "'What does he do?'
 Merchant
 "'Well, suppose he's respectable. What is the rent per month?'
 "'Sixty-five dollars
 'I fell down the stairs"
 "No 50. How will this place suit?'
